Another Bahraini detainee goes on hunger strike over lack of medical treatment

Another detainee in Bahrain’s Jaw Prison has gone on hunger strike this week over his lack of access to proper medical treatment.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Another detainee in Bahrain’s Jaw Prison has gone on hunger strike this week over his lack of access to proper medical treatment.

Bahraini rights campaigner Ebtisam al-Saegh reported on Tuesday that 29-year-old Hussain Ibrahim al-Tawil has been on hunger strike for the last 48 hours.

According to al-Saegh, the treatment that Al-Tawil requires for his diabetes is irregularly administered by authorities in Jaw, causing the prisoner’s health to deteriorate.

Al-Tawil was sentenced to life imprisonment last year following a mass ‘terrorism’ trial, which was marred by allegations of torture.

Al-Tawil is among countless inmates in Jaw who say they are being deprived of proper health care.
